Produktbeschreibung

The Wisdom of Weddings combines original insight with gorgeous photos. Written by an award-winning author, The Wisdom of Weddings distills the heartfelt moments of that special day into messages that can guide our lives. Opulent photos enhance these original sayings in a full-color book that makes a perfect gift. Weddings are as unique as the couple reciting their vows. The ceremony can take place at wedding venues at a tropical beach paradise, in a glittery Las Vegas chapel, or during a festival like Burning Man. The excitement sparked by this singularly important milestone is always carried on waves of joy. Whether the wedding invitations are printed or handwritten, whether the wedding dress and the bridal shoes are fancy or plain, the profound meaning of this single day is never-ending. The groom and his best man, the bridesmaids, the wedding photographer, and even the wedding planner find insights during the preparations, the shared joy, and the whirlwind of delight that imbues our lives with heartfelt passion. Our days become happier, and our hearts grow big enough to envelop the world. An elegant collection for every bride, bridesmaid, couple, and anyone seeking a more meaningful life, The Wisdom of Weddings celebrates a soulful outlook that can make us happier, healthier, more joyful, and more loving. The softcover edition uses a single-page layout for an affordable price point. The hardcover edition displays each saying across a beautiful two-page spread with the color photo on the righthand page, making it the perfect gift. Laine Cunningham, a three-time recipient of The Hackney Award, writes fiction that takes readers around the world. Her debut novel, The Family Made of Dust, is set in the Australian Outback, while Reparation is a novel of the American Great Plains. She is the editor of Sunspot Literary Journal.

Autorenporträt

After Laine Cunningham's debut novel manuscript won a national literary award, Jack Scovil became her agent. Mr. Scovil worked with Norman Mailer, Carl Sagan, Morris West and Arthur C. Clark. Their ten-year relationship ended when he passed. Laine then developed a new fiction voice that resulted in On a Rush of Silent Wings, a literary black comedy dealing with income inequality and the illusions we choose to believe. Currently she is developing an epic historical novel set in Europe during the scientific revolution before the Enlightenment. Her novels include The Family Made of Dust: A Novel of Loss and Rebirth in the Australian Outback, which won two national awards. Beloved, a sensual noir thriller, follows an FBI agent who must access the dark power of the goddess Kali to bring down two serial killers. In Reparation, a Lakota Sioux man must save a sister and his lover from a sinister peyote cult. Laine's goal for her fiction is to spur readers into dialog about our society and the parallels found in history. When individuals recognize how large issues build on multiple small elements, many of which were taken up by individuals just like them, they recognize that everyone can foment change. As a publishing consultant with twenty years of experience, she has written Writing While Female or Black or Gay: Diverse Voices in Publishing. Also look for Seven Sisters: Spiritual Messages from Aboriginal Australia. More information can be found on LaineCunningham.com and WritersResource.us.
